I don't like how this deal is set up. In order to cancel the service you have to do so through your Bestbuy account. Someone on BB stated that a BB associate told them that will refer you to Tidal if there's an issue managing your Tidal account. Tidal on the other hand has a FAQ page that states that BB is responsible for handling billing issues.

This deal is not worth the bother. MQA is a gimmick. It's not truly lossless high resolution. Qobuz is better if you care about audio quality and functionality. Qobuz has a website with deep filtering for metadata and they also have booklets. If you're okay with standard lossless or lossy compression than Apple, Amazon, and Spotify are the way to go.

Tidal won't survive through the next economic slump. Offering ridiculous low price deals like this is a sign of weakness.
Once you try Tidal you'll never go back to using any other streaming service. The master release quality is amazing.. Worth every penny.

I've had such a positive experience with it. I use it every day and it's blown me away. You will hear sounds in songs that you've never heard before on your favorite albums.

lol this sounds like a fake paid review, but I really do like it. I have every other service as well and this is definitely #1 in quality if you're an audiophile.

I just canceled mine 3 days ago online at bestbuy.com. Maybe because I'm in California and I think we require online cancellation. Not sure.
I guess BestBuy does what it thinks it can get away with.

There's no way Tidal is profiting from these deals. They're just trying to artificially inflate their subscription count. There was an article a few years ago about concerns that Tidal was manipulating their subscriber totals by including non-paying promotional users. It's amazing that this company is still operating. Some investor(s) keep funding it in hopes some big tech company acquires it like Apple did with Beats.
I guess we can say the same about Hulu. They offer $1 a month deals sometimes $2 a month deals. For a service that normally cost seven bucks.

Everyone should run from Hulu cuz it's going to collapse they're just trying to artificially inflate their subscriber count Smilie Smilie

The bottom line about Tidal is that it is a service that's comparable to the other services. They all have about the same songs.

It all comes down to the quality of the individual songs (bits/sec), and the user interface. Nothing more nothing less.

Got Tidal Subscription from BestBuy and after searching for a while on BB website, went to Tidal ->Manage Account, there was a link that account is managed thru BB,clicked on it and cancelled the auto renew. BBsite gave option to continue Subscription until expiry. pretty easy to cancel it this way
Haha. So the folks complaining they could not cancel online are Moron's.

Typical. EConmerce/Internet is a challenge for many in 2021.

I disagree. Neither Hulu or Tidal are top contenders in their respective markets. The content at Hulu pales in comparison to what you can find at Amazon Video, Netflix, or HBO Max. As for Tidal over the past week I have conducted searches for a variety of albums that are available on Qobuz and couldn't find them in their catalog. Tidal also lacks several key features that Qobuz has such as website-based deep search with filters and true 24bit Lossless audio.

I guess the old adage still holds sway. You get what you pay for.

In for 3 months for a buck. I already set my phone reminder to cancel it February 1st. In case I do have issues like other people have stated.

For a buck, it really can't be beat. But I don't like how it's not integrated with Google home/assistant. I knew that before I spent my dollar.

That reason alone, I couldn't possibly keep it for longer than the 90 day duration.

I paid my buck. Canceled the subscription. In 3 months it downgrades the free. What a piece of crap. No voice interaction in 2021. I thought I would be able to handle the deficiency, but could not.

wow.. dont fall for this bullshit subscription.. theyre making it extremely difficult to cancel the subscription... i would not have expected this from bestbuy.com
If you have a privacy.com membership. Create a $2 credit card, and use that to sign up. That way when your membership is done, and they try to charge it, there will be no money. It's fool proof. I've heard that Tidal is extremely slimy like that. Play on the safe side. hug
